Hello!
I have a quick question regarding CSS and having it applied to all
elements. I am trying to eliminate the gap between a paragraph and a
list that usually occurs in html and I've found away to do that with
this code:
<p>a</p>
<ul style="margin-top: -20; padding-top: 0">
<li>1</li>
</ul>
However I was hoping to use CSS to do it to all elements and without
using <DIV id="">. Here is an example of the CSS code I have so far,
but you need to use <div id="squish"> around them.
<style type="text/css">
#squish {
width: 10em;
}
#squish ul {
margin-left: 1em;
margin-top: -20;
padding-top: 0;
padding-left: 0;
}
</style>
Is there a way to apply this to all bullets <UL> <LI> on the page
using CSS without having to use <div id="">?
Thanks for your help!
Shaun

Then why are you asking here? alt.html where you asked first is good also
for CSS, but this group is only for HTML. There is
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets for CSS.

Which is wrong, as pointed out for you in alt.html

Then why are you using div with id?

Go look for selectors in CSS

Most likely, but I fail to understand your question.

I guess that you have to understand that P and LISTS are blocks and that
blocks provide double 'line leading/breaks/line returns' as a
conventional default. This is done by the browser with a default
margin-bottom and margin-top. (The double line leadings for both are
collapsed to only one double line leading.)
In order to eliminate the double line leading, the margin-bottom for the
preceding Paragraph must be set to zero and the margin-top for the
subsequent List must be set to zero.
